Captured us, our family and friends, and the occasion perfectly.

We can't recommend Morgan James Photography enough. Peter photographed our wedding and he captured us, our family and friends, and the occasion perfectly.

He is engaging, funny and enthusiastic - a great person to be around - and is the most talented photographer. His eye for detail and making the most of the light and the surroundings is exceptional.
Peter puts everyone at ease and, by the end of the day, everyone was sad to see him go! Our photos are perfect - thank you, Peter.

His photographs captured the day perfectly

Great photographer! Pete has so much enthusiasm and his energy is infectious. He is so friendly and his passion for what he does is clear. His photographs captured the day perfectly and being able to see some of the images in a slideshow at the evening reception was such an unexpected added bonus.

Outstanding photographers. We couldn't have asked for better.

Peter and Paul were incredible, just truly incredible. I'm looking through my pictures and writing this with overwhelming emotion just at how pleased we are with their work. Not only are their images just beautiful but the way they handled the guests and got them all together for us told us where to be and at what time and suggested ideas for great pictures was just brilliant. Truly professional and masters at what they do.

They're bonkers - we love it!

There are lots of important decisions to make when planning your wedding, but one of the most important in my opinion is choosing who to take all of those special photographs on the big day, as those are the snapshots of memories that you will take with you forever. We are so pleased we chose for Morgan James Photography to capture those memories.

Not only did Pete and Jed capture some amazing portraits of me and my husband, our guests and the venue...they also picked out so many little moments we might have otherwise missed; my dad's expression as he hugged me on my wedding morning, the cheeky sideways glance my husband and I shared during the best man's speech, guests chuckling at the anecdotes being shared. Being able to look back at these moments is so incredibly special. Having two photographers with Morgan James Photography means that you really get an amazing level of coverage throughout the day.

The drone was also such a special touch and meant that we got some really unique wedding photos that otherwise wouldn't have been possible!

So many of our guests commented on the day, 'Your photographer has such great energy!', 'They're so much fun!' and 'They're bonkers - we love it!'. Pete and Jed were so passionate, funny and charasmatic...they are absolutely wonderful!

We would not hesitate for one moment to recommend Morgan James Photography to any couple tying the knot!

We felt like King and Queen of the castle on our special day and Peter captured that perfectly.

Peter and the team were amazing from the moment they arrived. Made us all laugh and put us at ease. I was amazed by the number of photos taken during the day, but it meant that every angle of the wedding was captured. From beautifully posed photos, natural photos and of course photos with the drone. Peter knew the BEST places to have photos done at Hensol Castle and went above and beyond to capture the right photos for us that we can cherish for a lifetime.

We had photos back straight away, which was amazing for us to relive the day. We even had photos back ON THE DAY with a video showing our evening guest's photos from the day. Everyone said how much of an amazing touch it was. Our guests were even given a QR code so they could follow the photos being uploaded. It meant that everybody could relive the day as well.

We felt like King and Queen of the castle on our special day and Peter captured that perfectly. Thank you so much for capturing the amazing memories for us!

Peter, you absolutely exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank you enough :-)

I couldn’t recommend Peter more, from meeting him at a wedding fayre in 2018 to our engagement shoot and then a twice postponed wedding, he has been fab from start to finish.
He made the bridal party feel at ease, and my flower girl absolutely loved him. Nothing was too much to ask, and the photos we have seen so far are absolutely gorgeous.
We had a fairly big wedding and Peter managed to round everyone up for photos with ease and had everyone cracking up.
Can’t thank you enough, Peter, you absolutely exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank you enough :-)

The best service on the best day.

Just the best at what they do. Peter and Paul are masters of their craft. Just the best. They organised everyone and got us the best candid and posed images. The whole experience from start to finish was just incredible.
